Chapter 655 The Temptation of the North American Market (Four Changes, One Change)

Although Volkswagen's market share in the North American car market is cold and pitiful, Rostock still has a vision, and it can be seen at a glance that the car in front of him is a car that is extremely in line with the needs of the North American market, or rather, this is simply designed for the North American car market, with 20-inch chrome wheels, a large chrome grille, chrome door handles, and even the transmission panel are chrome...... A large number of chrome trim parts, all of which are the favorite choice of the North American luxury car market, especially this huge reminder, is always reminding Rostock, yes, this is an authentic American car.\\

Of course, if Comrade Lao Luo was also a reborn person, he would definitely point at Lin Hongfei and scold angrily: You cheat! How can you be so shameless? That's right, Lin Hongfei did cheat, and he shamelessly took out a model of General Motors that was highly loved by domestic coal bosses: Hummer H2.

Using the original American luxury off-road vehicle of Hummer H2 to impact the American automobile market in this era, Lin Hongfei was very curious in his heart, and he was looking forward to what kind of sensational effect would occur when such a car was launched in North America.

Of course, since it is sold in the North American car market, Lin Hongfei is naturally very careful not to use the original Chevrolet suburban chassis of the Hummer.

Be sure to get your hands on this car! Rostock, who finally tried to calm down his mood, his mind was spinning quickly, and he was sure that if Volkswagen really launched such a car in the North American market, perhaps Lin Hongfei's direct rush into the top three sales of luxury off-road vehicles in North America was not bragging.

It's a pity that Lin Hongfei always likes to disturb other people's dreams so much, just when Rostock was thinking about how to take this car out of Lin Hongfei's hands, Lin Hongfei's words kicked him from heaven to hell...... Well, it may seem like an exaggeration, but it's actually pretty much the same. "Lao Luo, you should know that all the things I show to others, even a piece of butt wiping paper, have been patented...... I'm giving you three days. Three days later. If you don't agree, I'm going to take this design and work with the Japanese, and I'm sure the Japanese will be happy to work with me. ”

Rostock was stunned.

Lin Hongfei's words reminded him, it seems that Lin has a good relationship with the damn Japanese? He knew it. It is said that the Japanese were so excited about the sedan designed by Lin that they immediately decided to put the car on the market as Honda's next-generation Accord, and it was with the money given by Honda that Lin coerced and lured Mercedes-Benz and ZF to get the technology and production line of the mechanical-hydraulic four-speed automatic transmission.

"Of course not!" Although Lin Hongfei was borrowing this way to force Volkswagen to submit, Rostock had no other choice at this time, after seeing this car and realizing the great significance of this car for Volkswagen to open up the North American auto market, he could only reassure Lin Hongfei in a firm tone, "Lin, please believe me, Volkswagen's sincerity in cooperating with you is sincere, and we will give you an answer within three days." ”

"Well, as a friend. I believe in you," Lin Hongfei accepted it when he saw it, and he nodded, "I hope you won't let me down." ”

"We never let our friends down," Rostock bragged about cowhide that even he himself did not believe. Not only did the stinginess start to attack again, "Lin, what kind of engine are you going to equip this car with?" The smallest should be a 3.0 V6 engine, right? ”

Lin Hongfei really wanted to slap a car to death: a car with a net weight of up to 2.6 tons, you equip it with a 3.0 displacement engine? I'm curious how you came up with it?

"No, no, no." Lin Hongfei shook his head, "How could you think so." It's a 2.6-tonne off-road vehicle, and at the very least, you should take out the 4.2lv eight-cylinder engine you use on the Audi V8, including your quattro all-wheel drive technology. ”

"Rostock, you have to know that this is an excellent opportunity for your Volkswagen to make a comeback in North America, as your sharp knife to stir up a bloody storm in the North American auto market, in the configuration of this car, you can't be stingy, all the good things must be installed for him!" Speaking of the back, Lin Hongfei, who was a little excited, waved his arms vigorously, and spat on Rostock's face.

However, at this time, Rostock obviously didn't care about this, he didn't even have any intention of wiping the spit on his face that was sprayed by Lin Hongfei, and asked Lin Hongfei humbly and respectfully, "That...... Lin, isn't this too high? And for the price......"

"Stupid!" Lin Hongfei looked at him like a fool, "Don't you know that the same car can be divided into different configurations, the one I just talked about is the flagship version of the top configuration, the price is naturally the highest, but below the flagship version, we can also divide several other configurations, each configuration corresponds to a different price......"

At this moment, without Lin Hongfei continuing to speak, Rostock already understood, and his eyes lit up and nodded again and again: That's right, you should do it!

"But Comrade Lao Luo, I want to remind you that no matter how much you increase the configuration, the engine configuration of this car cannot be lower than the 4.2lv8 engine of your Audi V8, if there is a larger displacement engine, it is better, and your quattro full-time four-wheel drive system must be the standard configuration of the whole system......"

Lin Hongfei chattered and said, like an old woman with a broken mouth, but Rostock was like a primary school student, respectful to Lin Hongfei's various words, all of which were followed, although he had not been in the North American auto market, but although he had never eaten pork, at least he had seen a pig run, knowing that Lin Hongfei said these are good words, if you can follow Lin Hongfei's words, Volkswagen may really have a great chance to make a comeback in the North American auto market.

Comrade Lao Luo left happily, with the hope that Volkswagen can set off a bloody storm in the North American automobile market, Lin Hongfei also immediately invested in the development of the V8 engine, the more things in his hands, the more advantageous he will be when negotiating with Volkswagen, and Volkswagen, a company that has developed for decades, does not have much advantage, Volkswagen will never look at the face that he is very familiar with Rostock to give himself profits, everything can only depend on how many good things he can come up with, This is clear in my mind.

Looking at the huge machine in front of him, Lin Hongfei was a little excited.

Originally, Lin Hongfei thought that the displacement of the engine could be controlled within 5.5 liters, but when he actually did it, he knew the difficulties of the road, limited by the domestic technical conditions and level, even if he got the support of FAW Group in terms of materials, Lin Hongfei still had to enlarge the displacement to 5.7 liters, and after using the cylinder block produced by the casting and forging technology, he designed the V-shaped eight-cylinder engine that met the requirements in front of him.

The maximum power is 275 hp and the maximum torque is 525 Nm. m, this is the performance parameters of the V-shaped eight-cylinder gasoline engine in front of the natural aspiration mode, perhaps in addition to the torque is relatively large, the power parameters are really not enough, but this performance parameter is placed in the early 90s, it is already enough to go against the sky, people who do not understand the car only pay attention to the power of the engine, but people who really know the line pay more attention to the torque of the engine: the starting and medium-speed driving of the engine depends more on the torque output of the engine, only after the speed exceeds 150 km / h, It relies more on power, but for an off-road vehicle with a large physique and a weight of more than 2.6 tons, it is not a sports car, what is it doing so fast? Be a road killer?

Dongfang Xiaoling looked at the huge engine in front of her, and her eyes were very pilgrimage.

In the past, she didn't know what this meant, but now, after working in an automobile company for so long, even if she is responsible for the financial work, she has been somewhat educated in a lot of automotive knowledge, and she knows very well that this is the first V-shaped eight-cylinder gasoline engine designed and produced by the Chinese themselves!

In the past, it was not that there were no V8 engines in China, but those engines were imitations of foreign goods, so it was like this behemoth in front of me, all of which were designed and manufactured by my own men? Thinking like this, the little princess of the East looked at Lin Hongfei with pride and pride.

Lin Hongfei touched his nose a little embarrassed: The high-strength pistons and connecting rods of this engine are still imported from abroad, there is no way, who makes us unable to manufacture parts that meet the requirements? Well, it's not that it can't be built at all, but the cost is ......

"Hongfei?" Dongfang Xiaoling looked at Lin Hongfei, and then looked at the button on a temporary welded bracket on the side of the engine, with some expectation in her eyes.

Lin Hongfei's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled, "I have half of my military merit medal, and half of yours, come, girl, you come to start this time." ”

"Huh?" Dongfang Xiaoling was suddenly frightened, and pointed to her nose in disbelief, "Me? ”

She never expected that at such a solemn moment, Lin Hongfei would let herself press the start button of the engine.

"yes, who else but you have this qualification?" Lin Hongfei smiled and laughed, and involuntarily picked up Dongfang Xiaoling's little hand, pressed it the start button, and the next moment, a low and powerful roar unique to the V8 engine sounded......
